•
A computer is identified by its MAC address—not its IP address. Hence, changing a
computer’s IP address does not affect any restrictions applied to that PC.
Viewing the LAN Groups Database
To view the LAN Groups Database, follow these steps:
1.

Network Configuration > LAN Settings
from the main/sub-menu.

2.
Click the

The
Known PCs and Devices
table lists the entries in the LAN Groups Database. For each
computer or device, the following fields are displayed:
•
Name
. The name of the PC or device. For computers that do not support the NetBIOS
protocol, this will be listed as “Unknown” (you can edit the entry manually to add a
meaningful name). If the computer was assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, then the
Name will be appended by an asterisk.
•
IP Address
. The current IP address of the computer. For DHCP clients of the VPN Firewall,
this IP address will not change. If a computer is assigned a static IP addresses, you will need to
update this entry manually if the IP address on the computer has been changed.
•
MAC Address
